Boxer has been our Senator for a long time. What has she ever done for us? We are in the mess we are in because of the longevity of politions like her. Throw the bums out with Boxer being first in line.

Duane Roberts is the best choice for U.S. Senate. He supports: single-payer "Medicare-for-all" health care to eliminate the wasteful private health insurance industry; immediately withdrawing all U.S. troops from Iraq and Afghanistan and using the money we save to guarantee every high school graduate gets a tuition-free public higher education; and repealing laws that prohibit marijuana from being used for medicinal, recreational, and industrial purposes.

I resigned the Democratic party after 42 years as a regisitered Dem and I will not vote for ANY Democrats to continue destroying CA. Furthermore the most important vote of all is YES ON 23. Stop this green madness. These people should be in jail for talking about "green jobs" that don't exist. We have already drive a third of the manufacturing out of CA and if AB32 is not temporarily suspended we will lose another million jobs. Anyone who thinks this state can survive on solar, wind and double pane glass alone is a moron.YES ON 23

Green Party U.S. Senate Candidate Calls for Ending Overseas Wars to Pay for Tuition-Free Higher Education for All

For Immediate ReleaseOctober 7, 2010Contact: info@voteforduane.org

ANAHEIM, Calif – Duane Roberts, Green Party candidate for U.S. Senate, calls for "immediately withdrawing" all U.S. military forces from Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan and using the cost savings to guarantee "every high school graduate" is eligible to receive a "tuition-free education at a public college, university, or technical trade school":

"If elected to the U.S. Senate, I will introduce legislation to establish a nationwide program to fully guarantee that every high school graduate living within the United States–regardless of immigration status–is eligible to receive a tuition-free education at a public college, university, or technical trade school of their choosing.

"We can pay for this program by immediately withdrawing all U.S. troops, private mercenaries, and independent contractors from Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan. About $200 billion in taxpayer funds is wasted yearly on these bloody colonial wars and I believe this money would be better spent on providing tuition-free higher education for all.

"The billionaires on Wall Street reap enormous profits from these overseas wars as both Democratic and Republican Party politicians continue pouring money into the Military-Industrial Complex to build jets, drones, missiles, and bombs that will be used to kill thousands of innocent men, women, and children throughout the Middle East.

"Meanwhile a college degree has become an unaffordable reality for millions of young people as politicians from these same political parties use the current fiscal crisis as an excuse to dismantle systems of public higher education across the land: they slash university budgets, fire professors, cut classes, and raise tuition fees to astronomical levels.

"There is something deeply rotten with the political leadership of this country when they believe spending $200 billion a year to keep thousands of U.S. troops in Iraq and dropping bombs on peasant villages in Afghanistan is a much greater priority than ensuring every high school graduate here at home is given an opportunity to go to college.

"The truth is, we can put an end to these overseas wars and use the money squandered on them to pay for tuition-free higher education for all. But people have to stand up and fight for it. As Frederick Douglass, the great African-American abolitionist, once pointed out:'Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will.'

Because Boxer is toxic and she has been in power way too long. She has had decades to make change and in her reign California has suffered and gone to the dogs. It's time for fresh blood in California.
